High Chairs Reviews
Updated October 2007
Baby-gear book Baby Bargains and Consumer Reports magazine offer the best reviews and coverage of the latest high chairs. Both publications compare high chairs on safety and ease of use, including ease of cleaning. We also found excellent high-chair reviews in Which? and Choice magazines, from the U.K. and Australia, respectively. While these two magazines include some high chairs that aren’t available in the United States, the comparative reviews are well done, insightful and comprehensive. It doesn’t take any special technological expertise to know whether a high chair works well or not, so we found parent-written reviews to be especially helpful Amazon.com, Epinions and Target.com are all good places to find parent write-ups on specific high chairs. Particular points of contention include simplicity of cleaning and how easily a child can kick off the tray. In reviews, parents say price isn't necessarily an indicator of satisfaction
when it comes to high chairs. For example, the Peg-Perego Primma Pappa Diner
(*est. $170) is one of the priciest chairs on the market, yet its reviews for
this model aren't any better than for high chairs that cost almost half as
much. Although the Peg-Perego high chairs in general get some good reviews
from parents for ease-of-use, stability and comfort, others say the Primma
Pappa is harder to clean, and some users complain that it stains easily and
nearly permanently. Some also indicate that the seat is too low, so baby can't
reach the table easily (though many other parents don't report this problem).
Parents do like that it folds easily for storage. Overall, the Peg-Perego high
chair gets good-to-average reviews, but other chairs, like the Fisher-Price
Healthy Care (*est. $90), Graco Contempo (*est. $100) and Chicco Polly (*est.
$100) get similarly good reviews for a lot less money.

Our Consensus Report shows how many times products are top-ranked by reviewers included in our The Fisher-Price Healthy Care high chair gets the best reviews. Experts and parents agree that the Peg-Perego Prima Pappa is a practical and stylish choice, but other chairs like the Graco Contempo and Chicco Polly have similar features for a lot less money. The Graco Easy Chair is a good budget high chair, but it's lacking in convenience features compared to others. The Fisher-Price Space Saver high chair is unique in that it straps onto a regular dining room chair. Although we didn’t see it compared to others, the Boon Flair Pedestal high chair is in a class by itself, with a molded one-piece seat and pedestal base. The Svan and Stokke wooden high chairs are favored by some parents, but others say they aren’t as comfortable. Advertisement
